Chapter 262 Night of Massacre (5)
There was fire everywhere.
Every time Count Pablo took a breath, heat rushed in, and even when he looked around, he could not see any way to survive.
It felt like my mind would fly away.
It would have been easier if he had died with a single sword like the others, but he was confused by the two options left by Roman Dmitri.
‘Can I get out of here alive?’
It was impossible.
no.
Even if it was possible, the cost of that choice was disastrous.
The Kronos Empire was a country with certain rewards and punishments. If you achieved a major, you could gain enormous wealth and honor, but the cost of defeat could not be solved even with death.
He is a defeated commander who has lost 10,000 troops.
It was only necessary to take good care of Rascal until the main force arrived, but it was greed to turn this place into ashes in such a short time and hope that it was safe.
They will probably be held accountable.
I closed my eyes tightly as if denying reality at the thought that all the bloodlines of the Pablo family might end up on the scaffold.
‘Even if I die, I must tell the Empire about Rascal’s work.’
Roman Dmitry.
He was a cruel person.
Anticipating what choice he would make, he destroyed the magic communicator right in front of his eyes.
Then, as of now, there was no way to contact the Cronus Empire.
Knowing that he was moving away from the castle gate, Count Pablo jumped into the hot heat and ran for a while until he reached the front of the building where he was staying.
Roaring.
The building caught fire.
Some of them collapsed and looked terrifying, but Count Pablo had no time to hesitate.
Stepped inside.
Shaking off the flames sticking to his clothes with his hand, he found a stationary magic communicator in a building engulfed in flames.
And immediately left a ‘voice message’.
“This is Rascal’s commander, Count Pablo. I will report Rascal’s situation urgently. About an hour ago, Roman Dmitri set the Rascal on fire. As a commander, I tried to subdue Roman Dmitri, but 10,000 troops were defeated by Roman Dmitri.”
I took one breath.
It wouldn’t be strange if the reddened skin collapsed right away.
“The reason Rascal’s forces were wiped out was neither a special operation nor an enemy trap. Only Roman Dmitry couldn’t handle his personal force. I don’t think I’ll be able to return here alive. However, I want you to know the seriousness of this incident through my death. While loyal to the Kronos Empire, he had never met a monster like Roman Dmitri. There is no guarantee of victory against Roman Dmitri, the best swordsman of Kronos.”
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
Fire broke out.
Count Pablo, who swallowed moaning in the heat, shouted, prepared for death.
“Be sure to deal with Roman Dmitry. If Dmitri is not taken down this time, it is certain that in the not-too-distant future, Dmitri will become an obstacle to the Empire’s future. So somehow… … .”
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The ceiling collapsed.
Count Pablo was buried in the burning wreckage without even finishing his words.
while people are in a deep sleep.
Rascal, the outpost of Cronos, collapsed like that.
* * *
1 hour prior to incident.
The Marquis of Memphis, one of the real powers of the Kronos Empire, received a report from the Royal Knights.
“Roman Dmitry attacked Rascal. It doesn’t seem like he has a lot of troops, but Count Pablo is chasing after Roman Dmitri in a situation where he sets fire and induces Rascal’s confusion.”
widely.
The Marquis of Memphis put down the teacup.
Even Dmitri’s sudden attack did not frighten him in the slightest.
“Roman Dmitri is a very bold guy. Thinking of declaring war against the Cronus Empire and moving troops to attack first? Regardless of what his intentions were, he must admit that he is different from the beings we have dealt with so far.”
“… Shall I report to His Majesty the Emperor?”
“No, you don’t have to.”
Kronos is a great nation.
There was no need or reason to make a fuss about something like this.
“It hasn’t been long since His Majesty the Emperor went to bed. The Emperor doesn’t take much pleasure in having his sleep disturbed, so I’ll take care of this on my own. Send troops to Rascal. Mobilize the shadows and the 3rd Knights and order those in the defensive positions to block all escape routes for Roman Dmitri. This is an unprecedented event in the history of Kronos. We cannot return alive those who dared set foot in the territory of the Cronus Empire.”
“I take orders.”
The knight withdrew.
About 6 hours until the main unit arrives.
It was not a short time.
Roman Dmitri would mess up Rascal inside him, but he thought that that wouldn’t do what he intended.
The number of troops gathered in Rascal is 10,000.
And since that amount of troops are waiting in the defensive positions, a network of heaven and earth will be formed that will swallow Roman Dmitri in an instant.
however.
In barely an hour, the knight who had received the order appeared with a pale face.
“The Marquis of Memphis! Count Pablo sent a voice message saying that Rascal’s forces were all annihilated!”
annihilation.
Cracks appeared on the face of the Marquis of Memphis, who was relaxed at the unexpected result.
* * *
Only work.
It’s an overwhelming number.
In fact, when that number appears in front of you, you have no choice but to admit how great a number one is in an endless procession of people.
That’s why the Marquis of Memphis decided that there was no need to respond by waking the emperor.
It was not an all-out war, and there was no way to deal with 10,000 troops within 6 hours.
only 1 hour.
Count Pablo delivered shocking news.
When Rascal’s forces were annihilated, the Marquis of Memphis could no longer sit and drink tea.
said the Marquis of Memphis.
“… From what I’ve checked, it looks like Rascal’s annihilation is true. Currently, Rascal has been burned to ashes, and the troops of the defensive camp are forming a siege to capture Roman Dmitri. sorry. I should have reported quickly, but I didn’t expect ten thousand troops to be defeated so quickly.”
Emperor Kronos.
I bowed my head towards him.
The emperor, whose sound sleep was disturbed, looked at the Marquis of Memphis with a nonchalant expression as usual.
“The Marquis of Memphis.”
“Tell me.”
“What do you think of Roman Dmitri’s move this time? Since war was declared, it was only natural for Dmitri to invade the Kronos Empire’s territory, but I thought that Roman Dmitri was sending me a clear message. Just like denying the fact that the Kronos Empire is the ruler of the continent. As if to prove that it was no longer impossible not to strike first against the Empire, Dmitri boldly attacked Rascal. And as a result of annihilation, it also showed certain results.”
“I am of the same opinion. Roman Dmitry is denying the very existence of the Empire, not just revenge.”
things in the past.
Roman Dmitri’s moves were unconventional every time.
Even when Dmitri was a baron, he refused the appeasement of the Kronos Empire, and when he rebelled against Marquis Benedict, he opened the gates and even attempted a counterattack.
At that time, Emperor Kronos announced the assassination of Roman Dmitri.
Normally it would be the right thing to panic and hide behind a castle wall, but Roman Dmitri reversed himself and not only dealt with the Assassins, but also had the audacity to leave for Valhalla.
Not even once.
There was no retreat.
Rather, they went out and destroyed the intentions of the Cronus Empire.
“Sven was killed in the process of attacking Dmitri. The problem is that even though Roman Dmitri was not there, he was attacked by a 6-star swordsman. The Kronos Empire is a country that has written a history of victories. But since Roman Dmitri appeared, our history has been tainted.”
Unlike the calm voice.
The Marquis of Memphis did not dare to look up.
Even without expressing his anger, Emperor Cronus’ words showed how angry he was.
“Mystique.”
“yes.”
on one side of the corner.
A being wearing a robe appeared.
Although he walked awkwardly as if he was unwell, he bowed his head and showed his respect to the emperor.
“Where are ‘they’ now?”
“It seems that they are rallying their forces and keeping an eye on our movements. If you start a war with Dmitry. They will definitely raise a troop. The mere presence of ‘the presence’ in the attack on Dmitri made it clear that they would not stand by our plans.”
them.
It was a secret the world did not know.
The Kronos Empire had been waiting for the perfect time to conquer the continent, but with the appearance of Roman Dmitri, it was no longer possible.
Anger arose. It was unacceptable for a being who dared to show hostility to the Kronos Empire to return to Dmitri with the idea that he had won.
blast furnace.
“Prepare for war. Calling the demons of the abyss, we will take this opportunity to wipe out even ‘them’.”
“All right.”
made a decision
Inside the robe, Mystique showed a bright expression and disappeared into the darkness again.
Emperor Cronus looked at the Marquis of Memphis.
“People think that the continent is barely balanced because of unequal beings like ‘United Kingdoms’. But from now on, I will show them the cruel reality. Summon all Knights of Kronos except for the 1st Knights. And declare a compulsory convocation order to the magic towers of the empire. It’s a war. Starting with Dmitri, I will put all the kingdoms of the continent in the hands of Kronos.”
“I obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!”
The Marquis of Memphis’ voice boiled with passion.
Finally.
The monster of the continent raised its gigantic body.
* * *
It was a corridor stained with darkness.
A man walked there alone and opened the iron door that no one was allowed in.
Sigh.
Anne was gloomy.
The man entered with a familiar step and lit a candle placed on the side, dispelling the darkness and revealing the space around him.
It was a large but empty space.
There was a well-maintained piece of parchment in the center, and the man read the contents of the parchment with a rather calm face.
[A very long time ago. The door to the world has been opened. The cold energy that came from it froze the world, and the disaster left in the world lasted forever. God said that someday someone who would represent God’s will would appear and solve the world’s problems. But if you miss that time, the world will never come out of the abyss of despair.]
Beyond the endless mountains.
It was the word of prophecy handed down from generation to generation.
man.
Emperor Kronos showed a ferocious expression.
“Until now, the ambition of conquering the continent was not fulfilled by those who received the trust. But from now on, it’s different. The second door opens, giving us the strength to fight them. It’s over now that you’re stubbornly holding on.”
long time ago
There was a rule passed down from generation to generation in the Kronos Imperial Family.
On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, Emperor Cronus realized the fate he had to accept.
A being that uses holy power.
Even if the main character of the oracle appears, the current situation where Dmitri is rampaging will no longer be left halfway.
The people of the continent did not know the truth.
It is not that Cronus did not conquer the continent because of his lack of strength, but that he had no choice but to endure it because of the unknown beings that did not appear on the surface.
imperial power.
people will be shocked
I was sure that Dmitri and the like would be wiped out at once, to the point that Rascal’s business was nothing.
Emperor Kronos moved on.
After leaving the secret space, he went to his bed and lay down.
and.
fell into a deep sleep
* * *
The next day.
The day was bright.
But as soon as people opened their eyes, they heard shocking news.
“Roman Dmitri attacked Rascal, the outpost of the Cronus Empire, and slaughtered 10,000 troops.
It was news that made me doubt my ears.
Dmitri attacked first and slaughtered 10,000 troops instead of focusing on Mercury.
to the news.
The kingdom union was in an uproar.
They, who were certain of Dmitri’s defeat, could not sit idly by Dmitri’s unconventional moves.
King Odelia sent a message in an excited voice.
“We need to discuss this right now!”
Early moning.
Except for Redford.
The 3rd international conference of the three kingdoms was held.
